1,600 wordsBarbara Kingsolver's book High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never is a collection of twenty-five different essays.

The second difficulty pertains to the hypocrisy of Roemer's view on consistency: it is one thing to level a charge of inconsistency against Marx's value theory, and quite another thing to claim that it is not useful to criticize the inconsistency of neoclassical utility and production functions - particularly when those inconsistencies are part and parcel of Roemer's own approach.
